YOUR DOG'S "DOODY" IS YOUR DUTY
     When dog owners neglect to pick up their pet’s waste, rainwater
     and irrigation runoff can carry bacteria from the unmanaged
     waste into local waterways such as lakes, rivers, estuaries, bays and
     the ocean. On land, as well in the water, the waste left behind can
     spread harmful diseases through numerous types of bacteria and
     parasites. Unmanaged dog waste can contribute to such things
     as beach closures (which results in a reduced revenue for coastal
     businesses) and can threaten the health of swimmers, surfers and
     tide pool explorers.
     Help Calabasas spread the word to new and old dog owners,
     alike: your dog’s “doody” is your duty. It’s more than etiquette;
     it’s about environmental health. Please immediately pick up after
     your dog – in your yard, on open lots, and along streets, creeks
     and trails.

BE PART OF THE SHAKE OUT
Drop, Cover and Hold during the Great California ShakeOut event on Thursday, October 21. Millions of people will participate in
this high-profile, disaster preparedness drill. It provides a perfect opportunity for Calabasas families and businesses to make sure
they are ready for potentially disruptive earthquakes.
The drill and other Shakeout activities are being organized to inspire people to prepare for future possible large and damaging
earthquakes and to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes. Anyone can register their participation on the official Great
California ShakeOut website at www.shakeout.org.

CHANGE YOUR CLOCK, CHANGE YOUR BATTERY!
Daylight saving time ends on November 7, 2021. This is a
great opportunity to test your smoke alarms and replace the
batteries.
Fire experts recommend you replace your smoke alarm battery
twice a year. Be sure to mark the date you changed the battery
on the inside of your alarm and set yourself a calendar reminder
for the next scheduled battery change.
Every ten years, buy a new smoke detector or smoke alarm. You
can calculate the expiration date by looking on the back of the
device and locating the manufacture date.
Make sure you have smoke detectors installed in every
bedroom, right outside sleeping areas and on each level of
your home. A functioning smoke alarm can be the difference
between life and death.
You can find more information to protect your household
against a fire on the USFA website, www.usfa.fema.gov/
prevention/outreach/

    EMERGENCY BROADCAST INFORMATION
    Perhaps the two most important things to remember during and after an emergency situation are to REMAIN CALM and STAY
    INFORMED. If you stay calm and informed, you are better able to assess the situation and make rational decisions. Take time to think –
    taking the proper action may save a life.
    The following are designated by the City of Calabasas as emergency broadcast sources:
    •   Visit the City of Calabasas website at www.cityofcalabasas.com.
    •   Tune in to CTV, The Calabasas Channel (City Government Access Channel) on cable channel 3 in Calabasas. CTV is also streamed
        live on the web at http://calabasas.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=44.
    •   Sign up for Blackboard Connect, a city to resident communication service using land lines, cell phones (voice & text), and e-mail.
        You can sign up at https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/services/emergency-notifications.
    •   Tune in to AM 1630 on your car radio for City of Calabasas’ emergency broadcast information.

            TEEN COURT
            While serving as a juror, teens demonstrate to adults the capacity for self-
            government and citizenship. Teen Court is designed to interrupt disruptive
            behavior in first time juvenile offenders. Peer jurors listen to the case; ask
            questions of the defendant in order to promote self-esteem, motivation for self-
            improvement, and to form a healthy attitude towards authority.

            TEEN COURT – VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
            Jurors must be enrolled in high school. To serve, arrive at Founders Hall
            between 4:00pm & 4:15pm on Court days (no advanced registration is
            required). Jurors will receive instructions before the case begins promptly
            at 4:30pm.
